FCI Fixation Sleeve | Scleral Buckling Accessory | S5.3000

The FCI S5.3000 is a precision-engineered ophthalmic component designed for 2026 standards in vitreoretinal surgery. These medical-grade silicone sleeves are specifically developed to facilitate the secure joining and fixation of scleral buckling elements, such as encircling bands and tires.

By providing a reliable, low-profile junction, the S5.3000 ensures the permanent maintenance of the buckle’s tension, which is the foundational requirement for successful retinal reattachment. Its high-purity silicone construction ensures long-term biocompatibility within the subconjunctival space.

Key Performance Features

• Medical-Grade Silicone: Formulated for maximum biocompatibility and resistance to degradation. The material maintains its elastic properties long-term, preventing the "loosening" of the buckle over time.

• Optimized 2 mm Profile: The compact 2 mm length is engineered to provide a secure grip without excessive bulk. This minimizes the risk of conjunctival erosion or post-operative patient discomfort at the junction site.

• High-Friction Grip: The internal diameter and surface texture are calibrated to provide a "positive lock" on encircling bands (such as the FCI S5.1250 or S5.1200), ensuring the tension set by the surgeon remains constant.

• Atraumatic Design: Smooth, rounded edges reduce the risk of irritation to the surrounding ocular tissues, supporting a faster and more comfortable healing process for the patient.
